Sync files between cloud services<br />
With the FolderSync app you can get all your cloud services working nicely together<br />
FolderSync is a great way to manage<br />
uploading your files to a variety of different<br />
cloud services. It gives you greater control<br />
of how your files are moved around, and<br />
thanks to support with task manager apps it<br />
means you can set times to sync your content<br />
with cloud services. You can easily set up<br />
linked folders to exchange content between<br />
your devices, and the easy-to-use UI means<br />
you’re always on top of your various files and<br />
services. This tutorial will show you how to<br />
get started with the app, setting up your<br />
accounts and using FolderSync (£1.95/$2.95)<br />
to start taking control of your cloud services.<br />
There’s a free version of the app too, so if<br />
you’re unsure whether FolderSync is for<br />
FolderSync Manage multiple services<br />
you, we suggest you download that first.<br />
It lacks some functionality, but it’s a good<br />
introduction to how much easier things are<br />
with the app installed. Upgrading unlocks<br />
additional features. Once you’ve downloaded<br />
the app from the Google Play store it’s time to<br />
get started by logging in to all of your various<br />
cloud accounts.<br />
1: Set up accounts<br />
First sign in to the cloud service of your<br />
choice. Tap Accounts, then tap on the button<br />
at the bottom of the screen. Name your folder,<br />
then add in your login details and you’re good<br />
to go. You will be able to add extra services<br />
now or when you sign up to them in future.<br />
2: Add more<br />
You can now repeat the steps to add extra<br />
accounts for the other services you use if you<br />
want. Bear in mind that the free version only<br />
lets you add two accounts though, so if you<br />
want more than that you’re going to have to<br />
pay for the full version of the app.<br />
3: Link your folders<br />
Now you can set up a folderpair. This will<br />
let you share items easily between a local<br />
folder on your device and a folder in the<br />
selected cloud service. You’ll need to give it a<br />
recognisable name, and select the folders in<br />
both locations that you want to pair up.<br />
4: Create local folder<br />
It’s worth creating a unique local folder to<br />
store all of your items in. Do this by tapping<br />
the Add button when you’re selecting a<br />
folder. Once you’ve named it, you’re ready<br />
to pair it with the cloud. Head back to the<br />
folderpair menu to complete the job.<br />
5: Set up schedule<br />
Now you can set when you want your<br />
folderpair to sync together and which way.<br />
Tap sync interval to choose how often the<br />
sync should occur. Use the other options to<br />
set how files should be handled. When you’re<br />
happy, tap the disk in the top-right to save.<br />
